Yeah, that was it. I'm not an ONYX guru, just an end-user. I can set up files for this w/o a problem, but whomever set up that profile should be shot (probably the original employee that started the department). Been cleaning up a lot of his f-ups the past 2 years.
Thanks for the insight and it...
The file that I am exporting from Flexi is a PDF. I've even checked the file(s) in Adobe Illustrator with no difference in exporting. Again, it's only when I tell Onyx it's a straight ContourCut file, is when the color change occurs.
Still having the same problem. Once I tell ONYX that I am contour cutting, the colors change. Attached are the files I used; one with and one without a contour cut line. The same color(s) but the two at the top I selected ContourCut under the QuickSet. and the bottom two are as <Default>. It...
I agree with GASouthPaw, the profile isnt right, even if it was created by Mutoh. I usually find a profile that works correctly and gives me the best output on the material I am printing on, and it usually ISN'T the profile that Flexi came up with. On my VJ-1617H, I usually use Arlon profiles as...
One of my 1324s does the same thing, until I could get the new printhead, I lowered the opacity of my artwork to 75% then double-strike the print, so it'd look like it was at 100%.
Worked fine, even for my blacks.
I usually weed the gold, if printing on it, or apply it to the background vinyl first, then laminate the entire piece and cut the laminate by hand and giving it a 3/16" ridge away from the vinyl so it looks like it was cleared. Takes little time and this way you should wet apply as the overlap...
Problem is with most engine turn vinyl, the turns are layered by row. What Alan did and what I am attempting to replicate from what he and Pierce did is an engine turn spaced out and following the letter as if it was actually applied directly as gold leaf on the truck.
It looks like 3 years ago ATHENNES (Alan) was able to come up with a way to come up with a way to mimic gold leaf engine turn (Reflective Gold Leaf.png). I'm trying to do the same, and I reached out to him, but it appears he is no longer on the forum, and/or perhaps, on this planet. His FB page...
Have you, or the designer, bring the files into Photoshop at 10% size at 720dpi. Bring them into Versaworks and resize the files to full size. Try ripping the file and see if it creates a file to large to send to the printer.
As for your old files, unless you are repeatedly printing them, log...
You won't believe how many clients actually do that. If something looks off, I ask, "did you look at it and zoomed in on an actual computer?" More times than not, the answer is "no".
This cannot be asked with more detail (i.e. is the sign flat aluminum, what gauge aluminum, 0.40, 0.63, etc., what is the structure made of, and/or is it being placed on the wall or roof?) and what are using as fasteners?
If the client sends artwork not already on a template, I'll create a template of the vehicle, usually in Flexi because I am faster doing it there, and then place the template in Illustrator or Photoshop, depending on how the art files are created. This way I will see where things drop on the...
I've had this happen years ago, printing on Avery clear with an Epson S80600. I was printing large pieces in reverse, laminated on white, and used for the Harmon Kardon storefront on 51st & Madison Ave in NYC, paneled for multiple 10'H x 18'W window. After printing the first 10 feet with a 12...
People, in general, aren't happy with the divorce of Pantone from Adobe. I use Flexi to get my colors and even old files print fine and see the Pantone colors in these old files. I print on 2 different types of Mutoh printers and an HP 570 Latex. As for Notarealsignguys's remark that Corel must...
At 100% size, the image can be saved at 72dpi and come out just fine in print. I've been doing that for over a decade, also having had worked for a signage wholesaler years ago. Bring the pic directly into Production Manager, not FlexiSign and see what it does. If the PDF changes color, text...
